BREW OF THE DEAD 2: OKTOBERFLESH Plays UNDER St. Marks, 11/3-11/19

In 2008, Dysfunctional Theatre Company asked, ‘When the Apocalypse comes, will there be beer?' There was. Unfortunately there wasn't enough. Continuing to lovingly rip off Dawn of the Dead, The Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead, Brew of the Dead 2: Oktoberflesh asks an even more important question, ‘Can the dead get high?'

The production will feature Nicole Lee Aiossa, Rob Brown, Eric Chase, Tom O'Connor, Amy Overman, and Amy Beth Sherman with Special Effects/Gore by Stephanie Cox-Williams (named "New York's Queen of Gore" by New York Press).

The production, presented by Horse Trade Theater Group and Dysfunctional Theater Company will run November 3-19 at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Ave and Ave A), Thursday through Saturday at 8pm. Tickets ($18/$15 students & seniors) are available online at www.horseTRADE.info or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444.
